dear Paul!!!
i got a message something similar to this from my friend
it goes like this
“its madness to hate all roses because you got scratched by one thorn,
to give up all your dreams because one didn’t come true, to loose faith in prayers because one wasn’t answere,
to give up on your efforts because one of them failed,
to condemn all your friends because one betrayed you,
not to believe in love because someone was unfaithful, remember that another chance will come up,
a new friend,
a new love,
a new life,
never give up because Life is indeed Beautiful…. Live!!!

its really something that draws you back when you’r in the verge of giving up!!! sometimes i think to kill myself!!! but then there is something inside you that tells you “are you crazy! only unbelievers do that!” believe!Light shines in the darkest part of the lane!!!!try to listen to the voice so soft..calms ur soul! once you know and take hid of what it says you’ll finally find an answer! i would like to follow my heart and be free rather than taking vices of someone or anyone who never have an answer nor ever did.

Dear Paul,
Not really but thank you for your answer. What I have meant is that sometimes we go like Napoleon “through dead bodies” to sstisfy the dream and even if we reach the destination it doesn’t necessarly mean that we’ve won… in the eyes of God.
Question is whether our conscious, our heart is OK with that.

From what I´ve learned, what drives us to suicide is when hopelessness and despair overtakes us completely inside. At some point we all need to learn to dare to base our lives on our own inner choices, based on what our own heart really tells us to do. We all have times in our lives where the choices for daring to listening to ourselves are truelly our own - and no one else´s. Love, courage, hope build and unfold. Fear destroys and contracts, turns hope´s light off. It´s up to us if we base our lives on love or fear, on light or darkness. I think it is also relevant to consider in order to find meaning and not utter meaninglessness in these ecsistential questions, that spiritual principles act thoughout much longer timeframes than on the span of one single lifetime.

My dear Agnieszka, you certainly give me hard ones to decipher early in the morning ;)…getting close to the Abyss does not necessarily happen through the committing of a sin….does it? I meant through losing faith, giving in to failure, allowing others to pull us down…not by committing a sin. I do hope I understood you correctly?
Love & understanding ;) Paul
PS: would be nice to see you also in the virtual exhibition…soon ;)

You know Paul,
I just watched “The other Boleyn girl” movie and there’s a moment when those words are said: “since when the ambition became not a sin but the virtue?”
and it got me thinking because as we all know “the stick has two ends”, where’s the end of the enthusiasm and the beginning of..the abyss?
so..
is that true that “without the courage the warrior is lost”?
or
the loss starts with…the sin?
:-)

love

Firstly,Failure and success are only a mental state,every failure if persisted leads to success.,this lesson should be taught when children are 2-3 year old.Every child should be guided keeping in mind,that they have their own likes and dislikes and give a free hand to follow thier path,only guiding when they go wrong.
Secondly,If u ask the person who wants to commit suicide 2 questions,many suicides can be prevented(1) Has the person been responsible for his or her BIRTH? Then he or she has no right to end it(2).Is the person sure what awaits on the other side? Greater suffering than what they are suffering on this side.

Its very sad when souls feel like they have no other solution but to leave ..take their own lives ,its such a waste of a precious life ,when your hearts a singing thats the joy,love,light and passion of something good -this leads us all on to our paths ,its sad when parents or others try to take away enthusiasm you have to fight hard be strong and have faith to get you through ,but I guess we do not like to let people down or hurt our loved ones when we are following our dreams but hurt ,pain come with growth.We do our best as parents and we choose our lessons and parents as part of our journey ,so our children choose us too .We are the light and that is who you are first and foremost-the rest comes when we trust in ourselves and the universe ,it guides us on our adventures,discoveries to new knowledge and wisdom ,gifts and best of all it listens very carefully and carries out every plan -prayer with love and patience . All we can do is love our children ,in body ,mind and spirit and demonstrate to them our way of living and loving and how we treat oursleves and them as well as others ..then the rest us up to them to fullfill their destiny .Blessings Tania*

We are the lucky few, who have been honoured to feel the golden touch of this wonderful universe. This also makes us vulnerable, and I’m sure many of us can say we have been “close to the edge”. The Warrior is both sensitive & vulnerable but without courage the warrior is lost. The warrior must often learn the “hard way” but this makes him/her stronger and more courageous. I am so grateful for those hard lessons, for without them, I would not be who I am today….
PS dear Annie, I am especially proud of your courage, never stop fighting…
Love & courage to all who become close to the edge, Paul
